When a rat roams my desk unafraid, it reminds me: fear bows to calmness.

कालः सर्वं विरोपयति।

(Time heals everything)

Most people see.
Very few respond.

When the inner child is hurt, the inner adult must pause and let the child cry.

Being strong is not about ignoring pain or pretending everything is fine.
It is about saying, "Whatever comes, I am with myself."

I can cry without collapsing.
I can feel pain without turning it into anger or self-judgment like "Why am I crying?"
I will not vanish.

This is real strength:
being safe enough with yourself that your inner child trusts the inner adult living in the same body, with the same soul.

Strength is not pain avoidance.
It is emotional resilience, and resilience shapes the future.
